New Yorkers for REAL Voting!
Edited on Fri Mar-07-08 11:12 PM by Bill Bored


Dutchess task force to examine election machines

POUGHKEEPSIE – The Government Services and Administration Committee of the Dutchess County Legislature Thursday approved creation of an eight-member task force to investigate the merits of hand-counting paper ballots versus optical-scan computer voting machines.

Democrat and Republican committee members locked horns over the need for such a body, its size and the merits of the new types of voting machines.

Those members of the public who spoke supported the task force, including Pat Lamanna

-snip-

Attorney Andi Novick, who wrote an amicus brief over the new voting machine issue in the state, said there is nothing wrong with the current levered machines and the security they provide.

“We’ve had a good system and why are we now taking 150 years of electoral history and throwing it out the window?” she asked.

1. That's the New York I know.

Sounds like they understand what verified voting takes.

2. Being a New Yorker
I really like those old machines. There is something about that clanking noise as you pull the lever down, that makes me happy.
